Now that it's been out for awhile is it any better or worse, or does it need some revisions ?

I hated mine! There was no adjustment and the sweet spot just wasn't there.

I love the hyd clutch on my 14 Limited. The 2 recalls were a pain as I never had a problem before the fixes. Anyway, no issues so far and it actually is close to the way my 2000 Heritage feels. Now, 10 more years and I will be able to tell you more.

I know there was more then 2 recalls on it . So I thought HD would be on rev # 3 or 4 of improved parts .

The recalls were unfortunate, mine went out first day. I had to park it in their lot after hours. They then called me early next morning at work that it was fixed and ready. When the recall was actually released a few weeks later they changed it again just because. I prefer the hydraulic no how many recalls. I have experienced broken cables more times than I can count and never at a good time. The fluid flush is so simple compared to any cable work. The 2014 EG UC is my first HD and my last, i plan on hitting 200k before I think of trading for another one. And yes, they are that good. :-)

No problems on the Fatboy S, got 6500 miles on it since I bought it August 31st. I don't sit in traffic too much so I'm not finding it too heavy. No recalls that I know of for 2016.
